A Novel Method for Measuring the Performance of Software Project Managers
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
This paper is focused on providing a novel method for measuring the performance of software project managers. It clarifies the fundamental concepts of software project management, knowledge areas, life cycle phases of software project, and performance metrics. It presents some examples of processes and common performance metrics related to knowledge areas of software project management. The researcher extracts an enhanced list of performance metrics using a questionnaire that is passed to 60 experts and specialists in the field of software projects. Their responses are collected and filtered for reaching to effective performance metrics and the importance degree of each one. The researcher adapts Goal Question Metrics method to include an additional step that dedicated to calculate a performance indicator for each knowledge area of software project management. Finally, the new method has been applied on 3 real software projects to measure the performance of their managers. Measuring the performance of software project managers can be helpful in controlling and improving the performance.
